It states: <packaging>pom</packaging>
and should be <packaging>jar</packaging>

With the incorrect packaging clause a maven deploy-file will lose the jar file.
From a quick browse of the subversion trunk it appears this is still incorrect for the engine component but has been set correctly for velocity-tools.
